T.B Whitt(whittwrites)

I have been writing for most of life, but only started publishing my stuff about ten years ago. I have written well over five hundred poems, plus at least two hundred articles for various sites on the web. I also have one published book of poetry and another on the way. I am also putting together a small book of children's poetry. In addition I am getting ready to publish my first novel. As a great songwriter once said, "What a long strange trip it has been,".

Some other information about me. I am happily married for twenty nine years to the love of my life. I am a Christian, and have 4 grown children (2 of which are married). I love to write, and dream of some day becoming a traditionally published author. I also love to draw and paint. Sadly drawing portraits has so far eluded me. I also dabble in t-shirt design and have some shirts on Cafe Press.

I recently started three blogs about about various topics which I am passonate about. To check them out go to Gibberish, Life's Listography and The Write Course
